How to use the chat room

Once you’re in a chat room, you’ll see a keyboard on your touch screen. To send messages, tap the keys on the keyboard until you've completed your text and then click the "send" button. To draw pictures instead of typing, tap the pen tool, choose a thickness, and drag the stylus across the white area of the touch screen. When you’re done, click "send," so everyone in the chat room can see.
